"Wear several layers and avoid going outside to prevent exposure to the skin," said Frederick Kruse, meteorologist at the National Weather Service in Dodge City.

The frosty weather is expected to affect all of western Kansas, parts of eastern Colorado and the Oklahoma panhandle, according to Kruse.
For north-central Kansas, approximately 7 inches is predicted through today.
In south-central Kansas, 6 to 9 inches are expected, and 3 to 6 inches are predicted in southeast Kansas through Tuesday.
Northeast Kansas is predicted to receive 4 to 9 inches through Wednesday morning.

Kruse said the snow is expected to stop Wednesday morning, but the temperature will continue to plummet to a low of 4 degrees below zero with a chilling high of 8 degrees on Wednesday.

Kruse also stated that a "significant amount" of snowfall is expected for Saturday, with a chance of another 3 to 6 inches.

"I wouldn't suggest a lot of driving during this period, but for those who have travel plans, check your local listings for the potential threat of snow," Kruse said.

The snow, coupled with winds of up to 50 mph, will cut visibility to near zero as the storm crosses the state, said Frederick Kruse, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service office in Dodge City.

"The big thing is there is going to be wind, which means near-zero visibilities and whiteout conditions," Kruse said.
"We're telling people to stay off the roads - tonight especially, when it gets heavy and dark."

A widespread 6 to 10 inches of snow is expected in southwest Kansas by the time the storm ends today, he said.

On Saturday, the low temperature in Garden City was 25 degrees, and the high was 27, said Frederick Kruse, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Dodge City.
On Sunday, the low was 25 degrees and the high was 33, Kruse said.
